Senses mediate all our experiences. Sight, heat, sound and touch determine our individual perceptions of every
environment, from the ordinary to the extraordinary. These sensory mediations are the substance of Judith
Fegerl's work, drawing a fine line between art and scientific enquiry. Her physical explorations of the senses aim
to produce a heightened awareness of the intervention that our senses play between virtual and material
reality. Judith Fegerl will have been in residence at the Austrian Cultural Forum London to work on White Light,
which brings together existing and new work. In this installation, red laser beams, light projections, and blinking
LED's, irritate our sight, as Fegerl transforms the automatic process of seeing into a definite experience, exposing
light as the source of our vision.

White Light consists of three parts: Read Only Memory, Teardrop Floaters, and Will-o-the-Wisp. This triptych
installation represents red, green and blue light, whose different wavelengths combine to produce ‘white’ light.
Each work takes as its starting point objects that alter or influence our sight, such as contact lenses or floating
particles in the vitreous jelly of the eye. Reactions to these objects are then extracted and reproduced for the
viewer, tangibly dissecting the process of sight.

Judith Fegerl, born in 1977, lives and works in Vienna. She graduated from the University of Applied Arts,
Vienna, in 2004 with an MA in Visual Media. Among a series of exhibitions in Austria, she has recently shown
at the Media Art Biennial in Warsaw, Poland, and has had a solo show at the Betonsalon, Paris. White Light
will be Fegerl’s first UK exhibition.
